Now is the time to strike for supre-

"On the 29th of this month every

THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT.

The great fight for the heavy weight
championship of the world and a purse
OF $4,000 was fought in England De-
cember 10, by Jake Kilrain and Jem
Smith. and after LOG rounds was declared
draw, which is an unsatisfactory con-
c!usion. From the dispatches describ-
ing the contest there seems to have
oeen more wrestling than fighting, and
"hlle the American champion is the
best wrestler, the Englishman is the
better fighter and the better man of the
two, and drew from Kilrain the only
blood shed in the fight. Kilrain's
hacker claims the purse and belt for
kilrain, because the affair was not
fought to finish. Both men swore
eternal friendship next day, and agreed
to light John l.. Sullivan for the belt
and stakes. Sullivan is said to have
already challenged Smith.

the appointed hour. AS they entered
the room. whispered exclamatons OF
surprise and delight were heard, as be
fore their view was presented one of
me largest and handsomest trees ever
laden with things that "make the heart
glad" Ornamented on every side with
rirh and beautiful presents, which were
brought TO plain view by the light of
numberless colored, miniature candles,
all OF which were again reflected by the
many -hued, bright, sllvered and golden
ornaments suspended from the many
branches, producing an effect at once
dazzling and pleasing to the eye. The
exercises commenced with the song of
Merry, Merry Christmas Bells" with
Mrs. Ada llovoy as accompanies, which
was sung by the choir and well re-
celved. This was followed by the
merry song of "Krij Krngle" by the
school children, under the direction of
their teacher, Miss Allie higgins, who
deserves much credit, for the children
ana admirably, AS t e singing elected
rounds OF applause, which the children
and their instrnctress well merlted. The |
song closed with Il call for Kris to |
come, and the old fellow accepted the |
Invitation and at once put in an appear

allay the fears of the latter by dispens-
ing indiscrimlnately bountiful supply
of good things, with which he came

adieu, and departed for an absence of
another year.
The audience were next entertained
wi solo by Mrs. j. III. Forney,
which was sung with pathos and ex-
preston. After hich the distribution
of presents took place, which occupied
considerable time, for not only was the
rec loaded to its utmost capacity, but

A few weeks since we addressed a
letter to Hon. Geo. w Norris, Nez Perce
Indian agent at Lapwai, concerning the
depredations which some of the Indians
had been committing on the Little SAL
mon settlements, and recommending
that hereafter the indians be given per-
mlls for leave of absence from the reser-
vation. The following letter on the
subject from Mr.. Norris will be read
with delighted interest by our people.

Complaints have been received from the
citizens and settlers of Washington

IN order to give a sense of security and
ease to the minds of all, none will be
allowed to leave the reservation without

WINTER SCHEDULE.

at night, they now come in early next
morning and depart for the west in the
afternoon, so that We are really no
worse off than before. 1t is long and
hard trip over the mountain. and in the
winter months under the old schednle
the mails arrived SO late at night-when
they came at all-that it was impossible
to oanswer letters by return mail, whereas
now we have ample time to maze close
connection with the outgoing stage.
This is the season of the year, too,
when the mail is mainly made up of
dunning letters from creditors below, and
their contents can very readily be
guessed at. The night sojoura at Cot
tonwood is also handy arrangement
for passengers. as it breaks up the trip
into easy stages which can be made
without wearing oneself out, and there
l'' moreover, certainty of getting
through on time, which did not always
happen in the storms of last winter.
